Official Air Jordan XI Concord Release thread 12/23/11 NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!

[sammietheboss]

I bought 2 but only got email conformation on one

 

[super goblin]

I wonder why these were so cheap on wellgosh. I mean $170 shipped, that's crazy.

 

[rhinosport]

Same here, I saw the receipt and it said Canada. I quickly emailed them though for correction.

Finally got my pair and for less than retail!!!! Feels good!

daym..... they sold out quick faster than I could post the link. I also emailed them about the "CANADA" in my address. Better not show up somewhere in CANADA. Good looks on the link b1gdaddyh. You beat me to it. 

Emailed them about it as well. So glad I decided to check this thread before getting onto 2k12...Total came out to be $176.96 with 2.5% Paypal foreign exchange rate. Ordered a size 11.5 but I really need a 12, hopefully they fit but definitely going to get another pair...Btw, is this a pre-order or actual sale? I jumped to check-out so fast that I didn't even get a chance to read description.

^ It said it was a pre-order... but again, they might ship them out earlier (just like End did for the BC 3's).

It's cheap for us in the USA because they don't have to charge the VAT tax (like they do to European countries/buyers)... so they lower the price for the USA customers to reflect that.

if you missed out there will be more companies posting soon (<24 hrs). just keep your eye out.

what i dont understand though is the custom charges. How does it ideally work?

Customs is run by the government. Its their way of taxing things that you buy outside the country. Customs will randomly inspect packages that come into the country internationally. If the items are taxable they will tax a percentage of the item value. Shoes are a taxable item.
Thats customs in a nutshell. Can get more complex but basically luck of the draw if you have to pay anything.

that has been up for debate.  most dont ever see custom charges, but factors like homeland security can play a role.  i and many others haven't had any issues with customs ordering to the US, but i know one member here who has.

 

[bigboi6]

to those that got through on End Clothing:
Was this a pre-sale and does anyone know when they are expecting to ship out?

yeah but you will only get charged customs fees if you order from sketchy sites like snipesshop or milk. sites like wellgosh and endclothing are UK based english sites and they both ship with fedex priority international and 99% of U.S. orders will pay zero customs fees.

Is this milkskate site legit?

Its not milk that will charge you fees. Its US customs once the package hits the states. Honestly, all these sites have about the same probability of being taxed.

Nope. I have never been charged at customs but I do tell them to mark as gift and not package a invoice.
